Not wanting to be rude to any Singaporeans on list, but that location would begin to make me suspicious of the true provenance of such parts. It sure looks brand new, no tarnishing whatsoever....

I know this has been discussed before but I don't know if a definitive answer was reached. There is one of those brass looking Cinelli head badges for sale on Ebay again:
Has anyone ever seen a badge like this on a Cinelli and if so do they have proof ie a photo. I think it is a cheap knock off -- how come he has an unpainted one? When that one is painted is it the next to be on Ebay? It seems that they appearing on Ebay fairly frequently but not frequently enough that he wants to make it look like he has hundreds of them.
Finally if they are fakes why were they made? I presume some went on bikes, maybe re badged Windsors?
